pirc, geographically considered. 1t is
more than al empire when we con.
slider its future chances. Rich be-
yond compare, its lands have now
only sixth OF the burdens they are
competent to carry. Texas is the first
cotton, the fist wool and the first
| stock state of the Union. Is the sixth
railroad state and will soon be the
third. She has the best common free
school system and the biggest provl-
sion for its support. The fact is there
is nothing small about Texas, as We
| have before remarked In other
states where they would have prohi-
bition they put it upon purely politi-
col grounds, buthere we have no time
| to handle the matter politically and II
is RELOCATED to the preachers and the
women. They all 90 into it aud they
get beaten. but here again there Is
nothing small about Texas, aud the
majority against the craze climbs up
20 the one hundred thousand figure, or
thcrcabouts. Now this isn't anything
small surely The Imperial Guard
only came into action when the ncccs.
/ ity demanded. The Texan democracy
has figured in so many skirmi-hc- that
it was difficult to make it believe that
there was u real fight on. But when
ut last the idea did take hold, why the
BOYS went out into the highways and
/ byways, and gathered up the usual
,ickcninE majority of one hundred
thousand. Tits u Dea,tly majority as
to to -'le, there is 10 doubt of it. 1t
j., time that the prohibition friends
claimed that it WI, nCn-parti7sn, and
consequently the majority should he
smaller, but still they ARE continually
charging that the white democrats
voted exclusively with them, while |
the negro ana German citizenship
voted with the ants We know only |
one way by which this controversial |
difference can be settled, and that is by |
the pros going out into the lielde /
into the highways and byways, and |
Gathering democratic vote, to the fold |
themselves. Ihl, is onW Il suggc,-
ton, mind you, not u threat, and hit |
don't work, or only results in giving
the democratic party another majority
OF 10000, We shall not be disap-
pointed. Nor ought we to be pun
i-hcd.
HE Almighty seemed to turn a
deaf ear to the prayers offered for
prohibition. In fact, He mani
Tested good deal of careless
ness about Ola tight" during
its tendency. Thi- is TRANCE and
uuaccountable ON any other theory
than that even Almighty power could
attack the Texan majority (u,uaD with
but small hopes OF ultimate success.
1t was even this, or we are driven to
the theory OF indifference on H., part;
